WEBVTT - Press Pass: Fletcher Cox

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Right sex for the team six or less six games

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>as a group. Um, how frustrating is everyone? How frustrated

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 1>is everybody? And what he's happening to turn that around? Um,

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say that nobody's frustrated because UM, I mean

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I mean you can I use, for example, you

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>can put a cone out there as a quarterback and

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>if he's throwing the ball as soon as he touched

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>his hand and you know, getting sex. Um. But I

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>think that the main thing is that you know, you know,

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>as a team, you know, we just have to be better.

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>We kind of challenge of the Redskins, particularly upfront. Um,

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a group that plays together. I mean those guys

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>have been playing together, you know, all years, scepted with

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the deception of Trent missing a few games, and you

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>know they're all on the same page all the time. UM.

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I think when you got a group like that, you know,

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we have to play our best game because of you know,

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>we gotta start off by stopping to run, you know,

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>being physical with those guys and sitting the tone. You

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>know early in the game, thirty rushing yards ahead against

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you last time. But a lot of it came out

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>just a few carries. I mean a lot of big players.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did you get a different sense coming out

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of that game and you do out of a game

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>where team is just pounding it? Yeah? Absolutely. I mean

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in that first game, I think we did a lot

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of uncharacteristic things, you know, things that we don't do.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Um and it cost us. Um you know, just and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>just sometimes you just go down goes to the little

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>things and uh, you know, we got to focus on that,

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you know this week are stopping the run and being

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>physical with those guys and um, you know, creating a

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of knocked back and get him a negative yards plays.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you guys have been pretty good against

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the run other than maybe that Washington game. And I

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 1>mean it it's I know, it's just like the first

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>team you guys want to do is stop the run.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It seems like that's been It's been there for the

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>first part. Yeah, we got we got to stop the run.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Um you know, and that and that goes to uh,

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think this guys is you know, setting

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that tone earlier, you know, as I said, and you know, um,

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, making the team one dimensional. I think when

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we stopped the run, you know, early in the game

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and team struggle to run and ball on us and

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>we get them in that third and long situations. You know,

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>they give us a chance to you know, either go

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>rush or you know, just you know, open up a

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of things for us. Dogs. Comments that we

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>would played hard last week, Um, I mean I think

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>as a team, you know, we have to be better. Um,

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean this team actually think we played hard. But

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think if you know, if we're winning,

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you know, nobody's saying that, but um,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>we just have to be better as a team. Let's

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>last week and Dalton Brook contained a few times. Um,

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did you guys just take some chances and

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>he was able to get outside on it? Or I mean,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>looking at the tape, why was he able to get outside?

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, were you guys? I do think it was

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>one third down and long. I think me and Brandon

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>ran a stunt inside and uh, you know I kind

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of got bumped off and he spit up the middle

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and ran outside and complete it for the first down.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Another one I can't remember the other one, but I

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.679
<v Speaker 1>think you know, I just I mean, we wanted to

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>keep him on the spot, and you know, that. You know,

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>he can run a little bit, you know, but you know,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 1>we knew he couldn't beat us. You know, he couldn't

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>beat us, you know, um you know with his feet.

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>And I just think, you know, you know, we are

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>better than that. And we just got to focus on

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>really this week because you know, last time we played

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the rest games, you know, Kirk had a few scrammers

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>on us. And I know that the guys will focus

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>on it, and you know we'll be a whole lot better.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>You guys have been excellent on third down until about

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>three weeks ago. I mean to see its starting with

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle game. The last three weeks have been it's

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>been tough getting off the field on third down've been

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>frustrating for you to see that happen. No, I just

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>think we just have to relax and play. I think

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, penalty's on third down has cost us in

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>some drives, you know, extending drives. I mean I had one,

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you know two weeks ago that extended the drive, could

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>have been off the field and uh, you know, just

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>come down. I mean, quarterback makes play sometimes, you know,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's I think that's what they get paid for.

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They make plays. They make good throws, and you know

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you know, it's nothing we can do about the sacks.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I know it's only a small part of what you

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>guys do. But are you surprised? You look, we're here

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>in week twelve. I think Brandon's got two since week three,

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>then he's got one and a half. I think Counter's

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>got three or four. Um, you know your numbers are down.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Does that surprise you? What the talent you guys have

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>upfront that they haven't come you know? I mean it's

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we're getting there. I mean you're only having so many

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>chances of rushing. I mean in a game, and I

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>think the last game we had it maybe ten or

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>eleven chances actually rush. We should have got him on

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the ground two times. But the most important stat to

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.359
<v Speaker 1>me and the guys in that room is winning. You know,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>we don't we don't get caught up in the whole.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, all man, we haven't had a whole a

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>sack in such and such games because we know, you know,

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that type of stuff will come. Okay,
